TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a blister package body foraccommodating different types of semi-solid material contents such asgel, and more particularly, to a blister package body having improvedvisibility which may configure two container parts of identical shapesthat are protruded to one side on a flat cover film to face each otherwhile a fold ing line is formed in the middle of the two container partssuch that the two container parts are folded along the folding line tobe combined into one to form of a certain object shape during packaging,may be provided with a container printed part having a variety of colorsor patterns on a surface of each of the container parts to assist indistinguishing a shape that the container part is intended to express,and may configure a transparent part or a transparent part having acovering printed part at a portion of a covering film for the packagebody covering around an entrance of the container part such thatcontents visible through the covering film can be expressed as aninterior shape of an object the container part is intended to express.Therefore, some pieces of information related to elements orcharacteristics of the contents may be presented through a shape, thus aconsumer may simply and clearly infer or expect a product. Aconfiguration of the package body may be dynamically changed via foldingand unfolding, thereby fully highlighting exhibiting and advertisingeffects of the product which may promote curiosity or visualattractiveness to promote product sales to the consumer.

BACKGROUND ART

Typically, a blister package is a type of package method as athermoplastic plastic film or sheet, and is a method in which contentsare put in a swollen portion of a container body, which is made of aplastic laminated cover film or sheet formed by pressure form ing orvacuum form ing in a shape which roughly resembles a product desired tobe packaged, and then, only a flat flange part of the container body isadhered with a cover film made of a paper or a plastic laminated film byheat-sealing, a high frequency wave, an ultrasonic wave, etc., which iswidely used in packaging of food, daily necessities, goods, industrialpro ducts, refined chemicals, liquid cosmetics, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 8, a conventional blister package body is configured tohave a container part 2A where certain contents 4A are filled or storedand protruded in a direction of one side at a planar molding sheet 1A,and a covering film 3A which is attached and sealed to a back side ofthe molding sheet 1A in order to keep the contents 4A from unexpectedlyescaping.

However, the conventional package body as above is a fixed structure inwhich a configuration itself is not dynamically changeable and hasproblem s in promoting curiosity or visual attractiveness to a consumersince the container part 2A of the package body is also formed in such auniform and simple shape such as a hemisphere, an oval, or a squaretype. Therefore, it is difficult to promote product sales due to loweredexhibiting and advertising effects of the product.

Further, the container part 2A of the conventional package body isgenerally configured to simply store or preserve contents and istransparent so that the accommodated contents may be visible from theoutside, therefore, it is impossible for a consumer to infer or receivesome pieces of information which may be related by elements orcharacteristics of the contents through a shape of the container part2A. For example, it is not possible to assume or expect in advance thatcon tents contain a scent or elements of an apple by only seeing acontainer part which is in a shape of an apple. Thus, in reality, avariety of information phrases or an indication of design about contentsare printed and used on a back side of the covering film 3A, and aproblem brought about by lowered competitiveness without a uniquedifference with structures of other package bodies remains.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

The present invention, in order to solve the aforementioned problem,provides a blister package body having improved visibility which maysimply and clearly present some pieces of information related byelements or characteristics of contents through a shape, and maydynamically change a configuration of the package body via folding andunfolding, thereby fully highlighting exhibiting and advertising effectsof a product which may promote curiosity or visual attractiveness topromote product sales to a consumer.

Technical Solution

To achieve the above object of the present invention, there is provideda blister package body which may configure two container parts ofidentical shape that are protruded to one side on a flat cover film toface each other while a folding line is formed in the middle of the twocontainer parts such that the two contain er parts are folded along thefolding line to be combined into one to form a certain object shape, maybe provided with a printed part having a variety of colors or patternson a surface of each of the container parts to assist in distinguishinga shape that the container part is intended to express, and mayconfigure a transparent part or a transparent part having a printed partat an area of a covering film for the package body covering around anentrance of the container part such that contents visible through thecovering film can be expressed as an interior shape of an object thecontainer part is intended to express.

Advantageous Effects

According to the present invention described above, when a package bodyis folded along a folding line, a container part is combined and shownas a shape of one object, therefore, a consumer may infer or expect somepieces of information which may be related by elements or characteristics of contents in a state of packing and exhibiting. Further, when thepackage body is unfolded for use, a transparent part of a covering filmor a covering printed part may be expressed as an interior or a crosssectional shape of the corresponding object which may allow curiosity orvisual attractiveness to the consumer, thereby fully highlightingexhibiting and advertising effects of a product and promoting productsales.

MODES OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will bedescribed in detail. However, the present invention is not limited tothe exemplary embodiments disclosed below, but can be implemented invarious forms. The following exemplary embodiments are described inorder to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to embody andpractice the invention.

The present invention will be described hereinafter in detail withreference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration example accordingto one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explodedperspective view of FIG. 1.

As illustrated, a package body P of the present invention respectivelyincludes a set of container parts 10 and 10′ which are formed in a dualmanner and spaced apart from each other on a piece of a cover film 1 andare in a certain shape to fill or store certain contents A there in,container printed parts 20 and 20′ which are formed on surfaces of thecontainer parts 10 and 10′ and are configured with a variety of colorsor patterns to assist a visual perception of shapes that the containerparts 10 and 10′ are intended to express, transparent parts 30 and 30′which are on a covering film 2 sealed and attached to a back side of thecover film 1 and are formed on areas covering entrances of the containerparts 10 and 10′, and a folding line 40 which is formed on the coverfilm 1 and the covering film 2 to be disposed in the middle part of thecontainer parts 10 and 10′ and may fold the cover film 1 and thecovering film 2 in half such that the container parts 10 and 10′ arecombined facing each other when needed.

FIG. 7 is another configuration example of the covering film 2 appliedto the present invention.

Covering printed parts 50 and 50′ which are formed in relatively smallareas inside transparent parts 30 and 30′ and are configured with avariety of colors or patterns to assist a visual perception of aninterior shape of an object that container parts 10 and 10′ are intendedto express in association with the transparent parts 30 and 30′ arefurther included.

Hereinafter, a work of the present invention configured as above will bedescribed below.

Shapes of the container parts 10 and 10′ to which the present inventionis applied may be configured in relation to a type or an element ofcontents A, but are not limited thereto, and may also be denoted as ashape of any object to improve visibility to a consumer.

For ease of illustration, the shapes of the container parts 10 and 10′are described in a state applying a shape of an egg in the drawings.

In a blister package body of the present invention, container printedparts 20 and 20′ in a color and a shape of an egg are printed on thetransparent cover film 1, then the container printed parts 20 and 20′are protrudingly molded into a hemispherical shape corresponding to ahalf of the egg to configure the container parts 10 and 10′, and thecontents A are filled in the container parts 10 and 10′ in a nextprocess.

Here, the contents A may be filled with only a single content havingonly one element and color, and may be filled with different kinds ofcontents having different elements and colors which may be mixed when inuse. In the drawing, as the container parts 10 and 10′ are formed in theshape of an egg, different kinds of contents having different colors areapplied such that arbitrary contents selected from a filling process isdisposed at an inner center of the other content to be seen as a yolkand a shape of filling is also configured to have a hemispherical orcircular shape.

After the contents A are finished being filled, the opaque covering film2 is attached to a back side of the cover film 1 such that thetransparent parts 30 and 30′ seal entrances of the container parts 10and 10′, and then the folding line 40 is processed on the covering film2 and the cover film 1 to be foldable.

A blister package body of the present invention having such aconfiguration is sold in a sealed state as shown in FIG. 3. When the twohemispherical container parts 10 and 10′ are folded to be combined, theshape of an egg will be shown by the container printed parts 20 and 20′having a color of an egg as in FIG. 4, thereby improving visibility toconsumers on exhibition and encouraging interest and curiosity about aproduct.

Meanwhile, when the container parts 10 and 10′ are unfolded to be usedas shown in FIG. 6, the contents having different types and colorsfilled inside the container parts 10 and 10′ is visible through thetransparent part s 30 and 30′ of the covering film 2 as if the shapesare associated with a yolk and a white inside an egg.

Meanwhile, FIG. 7 is another configuration example of the covering film2 applied to the present invention.

Here, covering printed parts 50 and 50′ are formed in relatively smallareas inside transparent parts 30 and 30′. When contents A having onlyone color, not different colors, are filled, and an interior of a formwhich is configured by the container parts 10 and 10′ has differentcolors, the covering printed parts 50 and 50′ may realize a shape or acolor which is not expressed through the contents.

For example, when stripes and a green color of a watermelon are printedon container printed parts 20 and 20′ and contents having only a whitecolor are filled in the container parts 10 and 10′, scattered blackseeds on a red background may be printed to be expressed on the coveringprinted parts 50 and 50′ such that areas shown through the transparentparts 30 and 30′ and the covering printed parts 50 and 50′ are similarto an interior of a watermelon.

As a result, the contents in white are associated with a rind of awatermelon through the transparent parts 30 and 30′ which are formed atedges of the covering printed parts 50 and 50′, and an image of fleshand seeds of the watermelon may be expressed through the coveringprinted parts 50 and 50′.

Such a blister package body of the present invention is available tofreely apply a variety of images of objects depending on changes in forms of the container parts 10 and 10′, and shapes and colors of thecontainer printed parts 20 and 20′ and the covering printed parts 50 and50′, and thus is capable of achieving a magnificent effect of visibilityto consumers.
